Popular gambling streamer Tyler “Trainwreck” Niknam revealed during a recent livestream that his total gambling losses range between $2 billion and $3 billion. That figure includes money he gave up by turning down lucrative sponsorship deals from betting operators.

Trainwreck is known for placing massive bets on online slots. While his play occasionally results in jaw-dropping wins, they’re never enough to put him ahead.

During one stream, Niknam turned $800 into $20.7 million. But even wins like that haven’t been enough to keep him in the green.

According to Trainwreck, his gambling losses are close to $3 billion. On top of that, his self-imposed moral standards kept him from accepting partnerships that could have significantly offset his losses. “Overall, I’m down because of my outdated principles that don’t belong in this world,” he said. He estimated that promoting affiliate links alone could have earned him an additional $20 million to $50 million per month.

One particular deal he turned down could have netted him $100 million over 16 months. But despite the staggering losses, Trainwreck remains unfazed. “I gamble for fun,” he said.

Niknam streams exclusively on Kick, playing at online casino Stake.com, where he’s both a co-founder of the streaming platform and a high-profile content creator. His channel boasts over 360,000 followers.
